"Mouth" is a 1996 song by British band Bush from their second album Razorblade Suitcase. Though its original version was not released as a single, it was remixed by Bush under the pseudonym "The Stingray" for the 1997 remix album Deconstructed and was released as a single on 7 October 1997, due largely in part to it being featured prominently in both the trailer and the 1997 film An American Werewolf in Paris. The Stingray remix was the version that made the song popular and received airplay on radio peaking number 5 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.^[2]

Details[edit]

Patricia Jones of Cryptic Rock opined the original mix of the track to be "one-two punch of classic grunge grit and narcotic rhythms", evoking a "comfortable daze".^[1]

Music video[edit]

The music video (directed by Joel Schumacher) features Gavin looking for an apartment and finding himself in a room with a woman (played by actress Michele Hicks).^[3] She is dressed in black and does not acknowledge him until their hands meet on the wall. After this first touch, they begin to kiss and take off their clothes. This sequence is interlinked with scenes of them wordlessly putting their clothes back on after sex. She seems troubled by either regret or the desire to tell him something, but she leaves without a word. After this, she is sitting on a chair elsewhere while Gavin begins painting the wall with the lyrics about 'silence' and 'talking', seeming upset and frustrated. Afterwards, Gavin catches up with her on a sidewalk, and she uses sign language to say that she can't hear him. She is then pulled away by a concerned friend who uses sign language to ask her why she did not call.
